If bombs don't mean anything, then surely blown bridges don't mean anything, either. Those who report stories like this only do it to embarrass the president. He doesn't need their help. It's only one blown bridge. They must have hundreds of other bridges they can use. More cars are involved in accidents in the US in one day than Iraqi bridges are blown up. That is what's known as "perspective", people. Thank you. RoboTroll 3100 reports:

Somebody should set off one of those bombs under O’Reilly’s desk.

Get that Oil Law signed so Big Oil gets those 30 year leases. 2. Sign a treaty with Iraq pledging to protect those oil wells for 30 years with 50,000 US troops. 3. In an October Surprise, send the other 100,000 troops home in time for the elections. Freedom for Iraqis has absolutely nothing to do with it. Chimpy’s idea of winning the war in Iraq:

I guess the use of sh!t bombs was getting boring. Yes, you have read that correctly. These are the things that aren't getting reported. Our troops are getting hit with sh!t bombs. The terrorists (and these would be the real terorrists, not the insurgent "terrorists) are filling 5 gallon bucks full of sh!t and setting said bucket on their IEDs. That way the soldiers (who shouldn't be in Iraq) are getting serious injuries with FECES in them, so they are getting massive infections on top of losing limbs. War is great. We should start one with Iran. Looks like those “stupid” “terrorists” have devised a new strategy. I guess the use of sh!t bombs was getting boring.

"What would suffice as winning in Iraq?" "Freedom, no more terrorists" and "it's the right thing to do" are the top answers but no detail. Bush followers love to be led. This conflict has evolved into something so much darker than the original intentions. I ask supporters of Bush that all the time. “What would suffice as winning in Iraq?”

How many more tens of thousands of troops will be needed to secure bridges, overpasses, and other critical infrastructure elements? More than we've got is the correct answer. Heckuva job chympie!

Meanwhile, in actual Iraq, we can't even protect the bridges. This is an occupation we cannot "win". Hell, the Repukes cannot even tell us what "win" means, so it is impossible to do so.

Meanwhile, in actual Iraq, we can’t even protect the bridges.

This is an occupation we cannot “win”. Hell, the Repukes cannot even tell us what “win” means, so it is impossible to do so.

Maybe they can trap US troops. But Bill O'Reilly says it doesn't mean anything and we should ignore it. Yeah, right. Looks like a strategy. Maybe they can trap US troops.
